In 1996 Monsanto India launched a programme
to provide educational tools for the local children,
beginning on a small scale by donating books,
school bags and scholarships to students. Since
its inception, the programme has donated 200,000
schoolbooks, 50,000 school bags and 2,500 student
scholarships to local children.

In
addition to the student programme, Monsanto
India conducted both human and animal heath
camps, benefiting more than 4,000 people and
3,000 animals, and developed publicvaccination
programmes, providing polio vaccination to
hundreds of children.

Through
Monsanto's efforts, hundreds of trees have
been planted. Your Company also contributed
Rs 2.5 Lacs to "Swaccha Grama Scheme"
(Clean Village Programme), which has led to
the construction of a road and better hygiene
and sanitation.
